Does the Future Hold Solar Powered iPhones for Apple?
p styletextalign justifyA patent has been unearthed that lays out Apples plan for a system which powers portable devices using energy from the sun. Although the technology is likely to be in its early stages, therefore meaning it probably wont make it onto the iPhone 5, it still shows how the manufacturer is coming up with alternative charging solutions for the future.pp styletextalign justifyimg classaligncenter sizefull wpimage21414 titleapple solar patent srchttpblog.dialaphone.co.ukwpcontentuploads201101applesolarpatent1.jpg alt width479 height167 pp styletextalign justifyThe plans laid out dont specify whether the solar chargers will require a wired plug but following the EU8217s recent announcement that microUSB will become the standard charging system for phones, this patent could be showing off the next big thing in mobile technology. Weve already seen solar panels in action on the Puma Phone and although it was a step in the right direction for green charging, the handset still got the majority of its juice the old fashioned way.pp styletextalign justifyApple is renowned for getting innovative technology out of the door before its rivals and the patent gives us a good idea of how the solar charging feature will work. The diagram details how it will recharge batteries in phones, laptops and tablets with the key aspect being the power control circuit which sits between the solar cell and the battery. This will monitor the level of power being generated by the cell, which in turn, determines a steady charge for the device depending how much sun is being absorbed which lets be honest here, wont be a lot in the UK.pp styletextalign justifyWere yet to hear any official word from Apple and if previous leaks are anything to go by, we may not hear a peep from the firm until it unveils a device sporting the solar cell. Solar powered iPhones may be a while off yet, but its a mobile technology that were looking forward to seeing in action.pa targetblank relnofollow hrefhttpblog.dialaphone.co.uk20110112doesthefutureholdsolarpowerediphonesforappleMobile Phone Bloga
